Ellie moved very quickly, and she came to Fang Zheng early the next morning.

"Have you already thought about it?"

Looking at his students in front of him, Fang Zheng asked with a smile, while Ellie hesitated for a moment.

"I...I don't know. Although what you said yesterday, Mr. Fangzheng, surprised me, and frankly speaking, your statement is completely different from what most people think. However, I feel that what you said

That makes sense. The current situation in Crossbell may require the use of some special means to solve the problem. So, I want to see what you plan to do, Mr. Fangzheng."

"Of course that's no problem."

Fang Zheng stood up.

"Follow me, just in time, we are going to a place next."

So next, Ellie followed Fang Zheng to the Crossbell News Agency in the Harbor District.

"here……………?"

"We acquired the shares of Crossbell Communications a long time ago. It can be said that this place has long been a part of Starlight Technology."

"Hey? Yes, is there such a thing? Why don't we know about it?"

"Because the stock market in Crossbell lacks regulation - don't look at me like that, I'm not drilling holes. In other words, the 'lack of supervision' is the characteristic of the stock market in Crossbell, do you understand what I mean?

"

"………feature?"

"Yes, in the financial field, this is actually a land outside the law. It is not subject to the financial laws of the empire and the republic, but has its own financial system. But this financial system lacks regulatory means, or in other words, they do not

They have no qualifications to supervise them, but this is very convenient for many lawless people.”

“……………I still don’t quite understand…”

"Simply put, money laundering."

Fang Zheng raised a finger.

"With the help of Crossbell's financial system, people from the Republic and the Empire can easily launder the black money they earn into white money, and a large part of Crossbell's prosperity is based on this. So strictly speaking

Said that the financial market in Crossbell is not 'lack of supervision', but deliberately 'reduced supervision'." |

"………………"

Ellie swallowed.

"But why do you want to acquire Crossbell News Agency?"

"It's very simple, because if you don't occupy the position of public opinion, the enemy will. It's not my style to be passively beaten. Since I have to do it, it's better to take the initiative... By the way, Ellie, you still remember me

Is it President Dita’s plan that I told you yesterday?”

"...Of course...of course I remember this."

"I also said at the time that President Dita hoped to achieve the purpose of supporting independence by manipulating the cult group he secretly funded to launch an attack on Crossbell, thereby arousing the people of Crossbell's crisis awareness and supporting independence. Do you think his approach was

Is it correct?"

"Of course it's wrong."

"So what part is wrong?"

"Ugh..."

Faced with Fang Zheng's continuous questioning, Ellie couldn't help but get a headache - this was simply the teacher's pretext for herself, and she couldn't skip class.

"Of course we will attack Crossbell to achieve our goal."

"Absolutely. This is why I am not optimistic about President Dita's plan. Only when there are no contradictions can we create contradictions. But the problem is that Crossbell itself does not lack contradictions, so President Dita's approach is simply a waste in my opinion.

Strength is in vain to find something to do for yourself. Are there only a few people who have suffered from the Empire and the Republic in Crossbell for so many years? Of course this is not the case, but what can they do? You have also seen that the Crossbell Council has

There are objective constraints and subjective reasons for not paying attention. Even if the victims protest and object, it will not have any impact."

Having said this, Fang Zheng pointed around.

"So, they gradually kept silent because they knew that they had nothing. Just like a slave, at first, you may be angry and resist because of the rough treatment of your master. But when you find out, no matter you

No matter what you say or do, when no one will help you escape from the sea of ​​suffering, you will choose to give up and turn silent. But no matter how you stay silent, you can't make what has happened completely disappear."

"…………………………"

Ellie looked at the passers-by on the streets around her and listened to Fang Zheng's words, and her heart went back and forth. Of course she understood what Fang Zheng meant, but Ellie didn't believe it, or rather, she didn't want to believe that so many people suffered because of this, and

His own grandfather was indifferent to this.

"So, Mr. Fangzheng, what are you going to do?"

"It's very simple. First of all, a leader must stand up and tell his own experience. He will not be afraid of the anger of the Empire and the Republic, nor will he shut up because of the suppression of Crossbell Council. As long as such a person stands up,

Then other people will also be affected by him, so I say that the Kurois family is a group of mentally retarded people. There are obviously better ways to achieve the conditions, but they have to choose the stupidest path."

"But...is there such a person?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Ellie also asked in confusion. According to Fang Zheng's statement, there are not many people who can fulfill this request.

"Of course, oh, he's here."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked towards the other side of the street with a smile. Ellie followed his gaze and was immediately surprised.

Over there, Saint Arios, the Sword of Wind, was slowly walking over. He came to Fang Zheng and bowed his head in salute.

"Hello, Lord Fangzheng."

"You're welcome, how is Shizuku's condition?"

"Thanks to you, this child is now back to normal."

Speaking of his daughter, Arios finally smiled.

"To be honest, she was not used to it at first, but now, she can see colors clearly and see the sky and the earth again..."

"That's good. It's good to live as an ordinary child."

After hearing Arios' answer, Fang Zheng nodded.

"Then, you are ready to accept the interview."

"Yes."

Faced with Fang Zheng's inquiry, Arios's expression suddenly became serious.

"I will no longer hide everything, I want... to tell the truth."

"Very good, come on."

Fang Zheng turned around and took Arios and Ellie into the news agency, and then came to a reception room, where a female reporter was already waiting. Seeing Arios, she stood up happily,

Chat with the other party, and then the two parties begin the interview.

"Mr. Fangzheng, what are you going to do?"

Ellie stood nearby, listening to the interviews on both sides, and lowered her voice in confusion when the other party asked.

"It's very simple. An exclusive interview with Wind Sword Saint Arios. Hasn't he always been very famous in Crossbell? So Crossbell News Agency has always wanted to do an exclusive interview with him, but he himself refused. So this

Once, I invited him over for an exclusive interview."

"Just...that's it?"

"Of course, we don't need to make up any lies at all, he just needs to tell the truth."

Fang Zheng put his hands behind his back and stared at Arios.

"So I say, Dita Kroois is really a retard. There are already enough corrupt parts under Crossbell's bright surface. He just needs to bring it all up. But unfortunately, he

I chose another way to solve the problem... Well, maybe it's because of something wrong with my brain."

At this time, the interview gradually came to an end, and the female reporter flipped through the notebook in her hand and spoke again.

"Well, thank you for accepting my interview, Mr. Arios, and I have one last question for you. According to our investigation, you were a police officer at the Crossbell Police Department three years ago. So,

What made you take off your police uniform, join a guerrilla organization, and become a guerrilla?"

"The reason..."

Arios seemed a little melancholy when talking about this topic, but he continued talking.

"I think you may know that three years ago, there was an explosion of a transport truck on the avenue."

"Well...yes, our agency also reported on this incident at that time."

"My wife and daughter were also there at the time. They were involved in the explosion. Unfortunately, my wife died and my lovely daughter became blind as a result. She has been hospitalized in St. Ursula Hospital since then."

"What a sad news."

After hearing this, the female reporter also lowered her head to express condolences.

"So, that's why you chose to leave the police station..."

"No, of course it's not that simple."

"……………Why?"
